On the 28/06/17 some time after 10pm I came in to the emergency department after a chair folded flat, fractured and amputated the top of my finger from below the nail. The staff saw to me very quickly and within around a hour and a half the top of my finger had been re attached. The staff were amazing. Caring and concerned, attentive and they did all they could to help me, and keep my wife either very close to me, or kept her up to date with what was going on at all times. One lady above all, her name I do not have sorry to say, kept cuddling me and assisting me as I was in shock and shaking violently. She was all smiles and I will forever remember her face and kindness. She went between myself and my wife frequently keeping her up to date and considering what had happened to me, I cannot in any way fault how they looked after me and my wife. Sure, their was a language barrier, but between us all we managed to communicate. The Dr who attached my finger's English was not great, but why would it be? I understood Pain, and he understood my reactions, and to my amazement, he sowed back on the severed top, I spent a well looked after night in a ward, and went back to the villa the following morning. I would love to let them know how I am getting on, so good were they. Whether the finger survives, time will tell, but because of their wonderful work, it has a chance, a chance at the time, I thought it did not have. So to any of them who may see this, who remember that night, thank you very much. Phoning them would be pointless to thank them, as the language barrier I am sure would make this very hard. I will, I think, send them a letter of thanx, or perhaps some flowers as a thank you for their wonderful service. The hospital was amazingly clean. It is a few weeks since and no infections of any sort arose from the procedure they carried out, something, over here in England isn't always the case. Thank you again.Tim O'Connell.
